Saw a most beautiful felted shawl yesterday. The edge was trimmed with different coloured ribbons, and the owner / maker told us that they were the ribbons cut from various tops and knitwear, the ones that are sewn in the shoulder seams to aid hanging them up! I always cut mine off, I don’t hang up jumpers, and find the ribbons a bit of a nuisance, especially if they end up somewhere visible. However, they are often rather nice colours, so I can’t bring myself to throw them away, but stuff them in a drawer in case I ever find a use for them. Food for thought?
@Ergates. Mine usually keep company to all other bits of string I can't bring myself to throw away. This year though I used some white ones to hang a couple of baubles on the Christmas tree.
I’ve been making children’s clothes for Ukraine, there’s a prem cardigan set there, but I don’t want to do any more tiny ones as other people like to make the small items, the waffle blanket is crochet.
